Agreed. I am not a fan of some BUT have them. I posted the last ones (you seen) in the wanted thread. Its been awhile since I found one. hahaThis is my goal too, although I doubt I will get all the Letters.So you are not a King collector that is anyways shape or form a completist. Varying degrees for sure I will have every number and letter some day... regardless of the artwork. I love the books... cause they are KingsThat's where you get your varying degree of collector. I had many chances to buy the PS King books but I can't stand most of the art and wouldn't want them on my shelf. The only one I find tolerable is The Stand. The obsessive collecter part of me still looks at the PS versions and almost pulls the trigger but I can't. I love Stephen King but don't need the PS versions due to the art.Because you like the author. I don't get your question. I collect King and have MANY books where I do not like the artwork.If one does not like the art, internal or external, why buy the book?They both had art by Marshall Arisman, but unlike most Sub Press lettered editions, there was no dustjacket on the book because they did a knock-out job on the binding and boards. As a result, the books present quite differently. The numbered book is dominated by the Arisman dustjacket, so if you don't like his work you probably won't want to display it. The lettered one is just a beautiful design and all of Arisman's work is internal, so you can display without seeing any of Arisman's illustrations.Did the numbered edition and lettered edition have different art?HERESY!
Unless you mean the numbered, which I personally like but I recognize that Arisman's art is not for everybody.
That said, I would love to see Suntup editions of more of Harris's books, especially Silence. My favorite is Red Dragon though so even without another Harris book I feel like the Sub Press Silence and the Suntup Editions Red Dragon have finally done his work justice after all those years without any limiteds.
There are several books I hate the art in (Insomnia, Tommyknockers to name a few), but I still have them.
